So far in this punch needle tutorial series, we have gone over
how to transfer your pattern to weavers cloth,
putting the weavers cloth into your locking hoop,
and selecting and preparing your threads.
This lesson is all about threading the needle.
You will need your punch needle, a threader (you can see mine is bent a little),
and embroidery floss.
Threading the Punch Needle:
Insert the threader through the pointy needle end and out through the other end of the punch needle tube.
Thread your embroidery floss through the wire threader.
Pull the threader out of the needle,
causing the embroidery floss to also come through.
Take the thread out of the threader.
Now, stick the threader through the eye of the needle
Thread the embroidery floss through the threader
and pull the threader back out of the needle.
It should look like this.
Once your needle is threaded, you can move on to the fun part – punching.
